Cool Tools is a wiki that links to thousands of resources, many free, some aimed at teachers, some just productivity tools.
Came across this by chance - but lots of useful video clips - especially the road runner ones... http://www.videodouble.com/video/eureka!-episode-9---kinetic-energy-84539/
I've left it as the link to the kinetic energy vid, but you should be able to see lots of the others down the side of the screen...
Hey gang, I was at another course the other day (I hardly ever seem to be at school these days, ha!) and came across what could be some useful tools (I'll put a link to posterous here too, but Luke gets the credit for it). Craig
primarypad.com A kind of note pad where lots of people can get on at once and write things wallwisher.com Sticky notes that people in a group can add too - useful for classroom questions? posterous.com Web pages created with your stuff for easy access to anyone
Whilst trying to avoid marking mock papers, found this via schoolscience.co.uk from my alma mater - some of the videos may send classes into a deep sleep, but quite interesting nevertheless..http://www.sixtysymbols.com/.
If you're a fan of Twitter, @alomshaha is well worth a follow. This tweet today: FREE science demonstration videos for teachers, made by me (@alomshaha) and @jjsanderson with Physics textbook legend David Sang http://t.co/EHTuNMG
Critical thinking: a couple of decent articles, one that is a good introduction to the topic for students, the second may help you to take the correct line with a critical enquiry in your assignments.
